You Can Slow Down Time

Gears
“Where does the time go?” We've all asked this at one time or another
and it only gets more common the older you get. Remember how long
holiday breaks or summer vacation felt like when we were kids? Now, we
leave the office on a Friday evening only to be jolted into the
realization that it's now Sunday night and we barely recall anything
from the weekend. Entire years seem to speed by so fast nowadays,
right?
Gears
This perception of time moving at a leisurely pace in childhood, and
then quickening as we become adults, is a common experience, according
to neuroscientists. It's due to a few factors, says [29]Dr. Santosh
Kesari, a board-certified neurologist and director of Neuro-oncology at
Pacific Neuroscience Institute.
First of all, when we're children, a year of life amounts to much more
time of existence, percentage-wise. "For a 10-year-old, one year is 10
percent of their lives," says Kesari. "For a 60-year-old, one year is
less than two percent of their lives." But more importantly, we're
constantly being introduced to new things and ideas when we're young
that leave lasting impressions on our memories. "We gauge time by
memorable events and fewer new things occur as we age to remember," he
says. "And this makes it seem like childhood lasted longer."
Which means by paying attention, staying curious and actively noticing
new things, we can slow down our perception of time. David Eagleman, a
neuroscientist who studies time perception, was profiled in [30]The New
Yorker and called time "a rubbery thing" that changes based on mental
engagement.
"Time stretches out when you really turn your brain resources on, and
when you say, 'Oh, I got this, everything is as expected,' it shrinks
up," he explained. "The more familiar the world becomes, the less
information your brain writes down, and the more quickly time seems to
pass." Here are three ways to make your life richer and more memorable,
thus allowing your time to expand.
Embrace New Experiences
Routines are necessary in life but are the enemy when it comes to
extending time. As we touched on previously, the lack of new
experiences is what makes time appear to speed up, so introducing
novelty into your life is the key to slowing down your perception of
time. By trying new things—accepting invitations and challenges or
learning a new skill or hobby—this will form "accessible memory
anchors," as a neurologist might put it. It's as simple as switching up
your coffee order or getting a few coworkers to try a new place for
lunch or afterwork drinks.
Be More Mindful
In the past few years, there has been a lot of talk about mindfulness.
But it's often in the context of [31]meditation. In terms of slowing
down time, you don't necessarily need to start each day meditating.
Instead, you'll want to become more mindful in everyday life. Meaning
you'll want to focus all your attention and energy to what you're
doing, seeing and experiencing right now. Instead of multi-tasking and
doing three things at once, try to be fully engrossed in what's right
in front of you. A [32]study by Harvard Medical School found that those
in an eight-week mindfulness-based program experienced changes in the
concentration of gray matter areas in the brain responsible for
learning, memory and emotion regulation.
Keep Track of Progress
We've extolled the virtues of [33]journaling before. But it definitely
comes in handy to help you slow time by taking time to reflect on your
day, your thoughts and your personal progress. It provides the context
to make life events relevant, and more importantly, memorable. That
context is key. A [34]study by the Wharton School found that we
underestimate the passage of time—especially when there aren't related
memories to build upon knowledge. It illustrated why you can feel
regretful when another birthday rolls around too quickly. Journaling
and tracking your progress will ensure you don't feel unaccomplished.
The positive byproduct is that accountability will also serve as
motivation to do more.

The average life expectancy in the United States is 78.6 years,
according to the [36]Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
